just looking to clear up a question. searchbared and came up with nothing. i have heard that if you hoot with two cameras, or pull footage some another camera, one being HD and the other SD, and use them both in editing, the SD clips will drag the quality of the HD clips downto SD? any truth?
 
any decent editing program will ask you what quality/resolution/dimensions you want to export your edit, if you choose to export it in full HD, or just HD, whatever your best footage is, the use of SD footage won't compromise your quality whatsoever...
 
It really depends what program you're using to edit. Basically if you have a decent editing program you can set the import and sequence presets to whatever you want. For best quality you should probably set the sequence preset to HD (whatever format/resolution/frame rate you shot in) and then simply render the SD footage as HD. That way your HD footage won't lose any quality in that step of the way. No matter how you do it, you're going to have a lot of rendering to do, which sucks.
